These sales are one of the main reasons I started gaming a little bit on my PC again.

Great, now the list of my "games that bought on Steam sale but never play" keeps growing.

Most of these are terrific games. Shogun 2, Crusader Kings 2 and HOMM6 for the strategy buffs, Legend of Grimrock and the Indie bundle for everybody else.

 

Bless you Steam.

Indie Bundle I is tempting.  Those are a handful of unique games I've been on the fence about.

Everything more than about a year old has already been on sale and I've already bought the ones I was interested in.  It's mostly just the past year's games I care about.  I mean - Just Cause 2 has been on sale several time.  I would think pretty much everyone who wants it already has it by now.

It's a double shame, because this looks like excellent value on the hoof. But, none of the title interest me (that I haven't already played), and I almost exclusively console it.

 @GrfxGawd Then wait for tomorrow for more deals. That is how the steam sales work.
